So although all the really super dope parties for WMC happen over the weekend, we all had to come back because of gigs at home! And it was a nonstop weekend (good reason to come back!)
Thursday night was the first round of a DJ spinoff that’s going on here in Raleigh (see previous posts). Anyway, I think I could have done better, but people seemed to be happy. Couple of pics:
Only had 30 mins to play a demo set, so I was kind of just throwing stuff together. Also I just found out I was in it when I was in Miami, so I didn’t have ANY prep time at all. I ran through it real quick tho, lots of bmore and electro with hiphop to start it out.
On to Friday. During the day I was spinning at the Guess store in Crabtree Valley Mall. Never done that before, gotta say it was decent. Only downside is playing clean music so that eliminated a lot that I had (again, found out I had it in Miami so no prep time, haha). Sadly, no pics of this. I packed up everything and headed STRAIGHT to the next venue!!Friday night I handled a party for UNC’s and NCSU’s KSA (korean student association) clubs. Location was Touch Ultra Lounge. This one started slow but ended up being alright:
My friends Carolina and Marco, who usually hang out in the booth
But then they kicked me out of the booth to take over the party
Saturday I rested a bit but I knew I needed it because that night was the Glamour Party I was doing for Seven Entertainment. This party was insane! By 130, it was shoulder to shoulder. I went in with the mentality that I had to kill this party, and I think I did well.
Eventually it was just too hot for the button up and tie, especially when you are trying to mash out
Flashing…Lightssssssss!!
There were professional photographers at both of the parties at Touch, so as soon as those pics come back I’ll put them up as well.
Also, I don’t care what anyone says, O’Neal McKnight’s “check your coat” is the jam! I hope it really takes off! Word to Greg Nice!!!
